#8: Pipes, canals and dams - Infrastructure endures, so be careful who pays
In this episode of Tap’d In, hosts Jordan and Lana examine the challenges of water infrastructure mismanagement, drawing from David Zetland's Living with Water Scarcity. The episode highlights how subsidies and political influence often result in inefficient allocation and environmental harm. Zetland advocates for reforming policies to align costs with benefits, encourage private investment, and prioritize adaptable, sustainable infrastructure, including "green" solutions, to address climate change risks. Jordan and Lana emphasize the long-term impacts of infrastructure decisions and the need for systemic changes to achieve economic, environmental, and social sustainability.
